How often should an 11-week-old mini Goldendoodle eat each day?

I have an 11-week-old mini Goldendoodle and I'm trying to figure out the best feeding schedule for her. She's quite energetic and always seems to have an appetite, but I want to make sure I'm not overfeeding her. How many times a day should I be feeding her at this age to ensure she's healthy and growing well?

Answer

At 11 weeks old, your mini Goldendoodle should be eating three to four times a day to support her rapid growth and energy needs.

  • Provide meals at regular intervals to help with digestion and energy distribution.
  • Use a high-quality puppy food formulated for small breeds.
  • Monitor her weight and adjust portion sizes based on your veterinarian's advice.
  • Ensure fresh water is available at all times.

Feeding her several small meals throughout the day helps maintain her energy and ensures she's getting the nutrients needed for healthy growth. Puppies have small stomachs and need frequent feeding to avoid blood sugar fluctuations.
